chrissie swan.

The third daughter of a bubble-wrap addicted mother and a father who likes to customise Econovans just for fun, Chrissie Swan became Australia's first female Big Brother runner-up in 2003. Taking up an opportunity to become a breakfast radio announcer on the Sunshine Coast, Chrissie moved her coffee machine to Maroochydore and set her recurring alarm for 4am. She was nominated for a Best Newcomer On-Air ACRA (Australian Commercial Radio Awards) the following year and won the Best On-Air Team ACRA in 2005.
Suffering from severe sookiness (she missed her Mum), Chrissie returned to Melbourne and spent 2 years trying to get a word in edgewise with Dicko and Dave O'Neil on Vega 91.5's “Dicko, Dave & Chrissie” breakfast radio show.

2010 has been spent happily gasbagging with her 3 new besties on Ten's brand new and critically acclaimed all-female talk show “The Circle” where she's sung with Meatloaf, danced like Beyonce, impersonated a panda and got a feeling that a roast chicken ought to be named "Maurice".

A self-confessed pop trivia tragic (she once won $500 for singing every verse of The Love Boat from memory) Chrissie lists good coffee, eBay, her man ‘The Chippie’ and her one year old son Leo as her life's passions. She is loving life in the ‘burbs’ and spends her weekends at Bunnings just like everyone else.
